( first, he doesn't "take rejection well" because it doesn't happen to him. things have come easy. she has fear, he has charm. but that charm dies on the vine of an immortal inner circle member. )
Luke Parker. But I don't think it counts as stealing when he came to me to try and get information out of me.
[Or at least that's how she'd argue it. She just didn't let him leave. But to his second question:]
No. She's not a witch.
[There's a pause, because remembering how it felt to put a hand on her, and she can't help but feel this sinking, horrifying sensation. Is this going to become an obsession? Maybe. Good thing she has better things to worry about.]
I don't know what she is. I don't think she's human.
[Jaqueline doesn't know if she can. It's rare she runs into something she doesn't know, but she will at least promise to keep it to internet deep dives and not go confront the woman in person unless she has reason to.]
Fine. But if it turns out she's an eldritch beast from dimensions unknown, you're going to wish you had me digging.
Pretty sure, you and I are his only Colony contacts, but he does play his client list close to the vest. I wouldn't be surprised if he wormed his way into the other families.
Wherever you want? I assume David has a plan for him and Sierra to meet up.
[She's not sure if she likes the fact that Sierra is putting herself on the map so that the Gauntlet can be called in for real, but they need the cover of the bloodshed. It's a necessary evil.
She just hopes that by the time they're done in Mexico, Sierra will still be in one piece.]

She "got involved."

Okay, I may have held her brother hostage, but she stole the baby vamp out from under us first, I was just obtaining leverage.
[So not the point, the point is your sister's suffering, Max:]
Also the feds have an agent that can't be influenced by magic, so try not to get arrested by someone named Audrey Parker.

If the plan ever involves getting arrested, steer clear of Agent Parker. No relation?...

Better to not end up on the wrong end of an FBI investigation, sis. Maybe let this one go.

Not if I convert to Cthululism.

Then if you want to surrender to the madness of the beast, that's your own sanity to risk.

You wouldn't save me from a Lovecraftian cult?

[Of course she would save him from a Lovecraftian cult. But for the purposes of the banter:]
I'd like to believe you're too smart to get tricked into a Lovecraftian cult in the first place. But if you want to prove me wrong ...

And honestly, I could have done much worse to him and I didn't. I think that should get me some points.

Where are we meeting when we're back in the states?

Are you going to be able to handle Mr. Blinders?
no subject
He's not a hard nut to crack. Find a body and point him in that direction. Rinse, wash, repeat.
( but he knows what she means. )
I also grow on people not immediately inclined.

For now.]
